Amorous Amphibians
Narrated by DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
Why do male toads croak when touched? Where do female newts lay their eggs? Why do frogs lay their eggs in five seconds?
These are just some of the puzzling questions that persuaded two naturalists, Tim Halliday and Nick Davies , to investigate the nocturnal cavortings in one particular pond. For a hectic week, both day and night, they watched every jump and listened to every croak. They devised some ingenious experiments and, like detectives, painstakingly unravelled the mysteries of amphibian courtship.
